This map is a single player designed to run in 3 Eras from 1860 to 1950. All testing was done at the
Mogul level. It took me several tries to get through it.

Initially I could not get it to run on my Windows 10 desktop, so the testing was done on my old laptop
running Windows 8. After completion I loaded it back onto my desktop and it ran fine. Now it did take a
couple of attempts to get it to start. I keep getting C++ Runtime errors, but that seems to be par for the
course with Windows 10 and my desktop. Hopefully, if you are running Windows 10 it will run fine for you.
If you find you get some kind of an error, don’t give up. Sometimes it seems like it just takes a few tries
to get it going, and then it will run OK.

On game play, there are a lot of options on where to run track. If you find you are stuck in Era 1,
try another approach. It can be done. I did a little testing at the Robber Baron level just to make sure
that you could get the map started. A few adjustments to the RRT_Difficulty.xml were made as a result.
There are a number of locales that need to grow before goals can be met. Do not wait too long to get
those growing. It should be noted that the game includes a good called Light. The lighthouses are setup
as industries so that a game save and subsequent load will not make them disappear which would happen if
they were set up as decorations. The good light has no value and should be ignored.

I downsized the map quite a bit from what it initially looked like. It originally featured 3 sets of
train cars and a number of additional engines. It was just too heavy. All version 3 material (train cars
and diesels) have been removed. I think it runs well now and in a reasonable time frame. I hope you enjoy
it and find it gives you a challenge.

Cajun Country runs in 3 Eras and contains some new goods, industries, engines, train cars and new music. It has been well tested. It was designed as a single player map but will run ok with AI players. This map is a SAM (Stand Alone Map). Please be sure no other files are in your Usermaps or Custom Assets folders. Download the zips to a new instance of SMR. Unzip the first file and it should unzip the rest automatically. I have included a Goods List which I think will prove helpful. I think you will find some challenges with this map. Tell your bridge crew to gear up. You’ve got a lot of rivers and bayous to cross. Enjoy!

Connecticut features 3 Eras and runs from 1860 to 1969. Credit for the original version of Connecticut goes to newhavenpatriot, this version has been expanded and finished by slider38 with SAM assistance from Snoopy55.

This is Minnesota Rail, a SAM designed for one player. It features some new Goods, Industries, Traincars and Engines. It covers the period from 1950 to 2010. It plays on a 17 x 17 map and runs in two eras covering the 60 years. Time has been slowed. Please view the Read Me file for more information on playing this map. Version 2 corrects a few minor typos. Game play is unchanged.

This map contains 3 Eras running from 1930 to 2000. It contains a lot of new material – new industries, traincars, engines, etc. The map area runs roughly from Chicago, Illinois north to Sheboygan, Wisconsin and west to the Mississippi River. This is a single player map.

This map is about track control. There are no crossover bridges. You must guide your trains to their destination using switches as necessary. This is a 17 x 17 map.
